Rise of the Wasteland in Cultivation

After the Corpse Armor met Dawn's gaze, its fierce, dark red eyes showed a look of confusion. It then turned and attacked the two Punishers, seemingly under Dawn's mental control.

Leng San was both surprised and delighted. He never expected that the little burden he usually had to protect would show such remarkable ability at this critical moment.

—Boom boom boom

The armored corpse fought fiercely with the two punishers, battling from one end of the street to the other, and from one end to the other, smashing down many of the buildings in the ruins. The scene was extremely intense.

Leng San was secretly alarmed. The superhumans he was encountering were all incredibly powerful, far surpassing even D-level superhumans like Viper and Dream Thief. It seemed he needed to work harder to become stronger. The strength of the second level of Qi Refining was nothing in this wasteland world; it would be easy to "disappear" from the game.

The armored corpse fought fiercely with the two punishers for more than ten minutes. The entire street was smashed to pieces, and there was no relatively intact building left. The scene was extremely exaggerated.

The two Punishers' abilities were highly compatible, unleashing a power far greater than the sum of its parts. Even the powerful armored corpse was at a disadvantage under their combined attack, roaring in anger, and even cracks appeared in its hard bone armor.

However, just like a match between two football teams, if one team dominates the entire game but can't break through, it's all for nothing. If the opponent seizes just one opportunity, the outcome could be reversed.

At this moment, the armored corpse, which was being beaten and roaring incessantly, seized the opportunity, grabbed the bronze man by the neck, and slammed him violently to the ground, creating a huge crater.

The bronze figure, struck by this heavy blow, began to become unstable, its metallic body flickering erratically.

The liquid man rushed to the rescue, turning into a pool of liquid that wrapped around the zombie's body and strangled it. His upper body returned to human form, and he suddenly had a weapon that looked like a claw hammer in his hand, which he used to smash the zombie's head.

Clearly, the liquid man also knew that the weakest point on the corpse's body was this skull.

The armored corpse, probably in pain, finally loosened its grip on the bronze man's neck, threw him violently away, and then reached back to grab the liquid man who was strangling its own neck.

The liquid man immediately turned into a pool of liquid, flowing down the armored corpse's body onto the ground and rapidly flowing towards the bronze man.

The bronze figure was in a sorry state, having completely lost its metallic luster and reverted to its normal human form. It was vomiting blood, clearly seriously injured, and had probably temporarily lost its ability to transform.

--roar

The armored corpse roared angrily, some greenish-black blood dripping from its head; clearly, it too was injured. The bone on its skull was its weakest point.

The armored corpse leaped forward, pouncing on the bronze figure again. The liquid man, now transformed into liquid, quickly grabbed the bronze figure and fled. If they didn't escape, the bronze figure, temporarily unable to transform, would be torn to shreds by the armored corpse.

At this moment, the armored corpse seemed to have regained its senses. Instead of chasing after the two punishers, it turned around and walked towards Leng San and Chen Xi, its eyes filled with ferocity and a hint of doubt.

Chenxi's gaze deepened once more, a faint green light gleaming in his pupils. The armored corpse stared back at him for a moment, its eyes gradually becoming unfocused, and its ferocious aura gradually subsided.

The armored corpse is undoubtedly powerful in combat, but its mental strength is relatively weak. It is probably because it has only just begun to evolve intelligence. Its soul is still very weak, which explains why it is afraid of sunlight before it has completed its evolution.

Leng Sanzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the armored corpse suddenly closed its eyes, shook its head incessantly, and released its fierce aura once again, as if trying to break free from Chenxi's mental control.

At this moment, the green light in Chenxi's eyes intensified, his brows furrowed, his expression became distressed, and faint traces of blood seeped from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Leng San was greatly alarmed. Without further hesitation, he swung his machete with lightning speed, striking the armored corpse hard on the head. With a slight cracking sound, the top of the armored corpse's head, which was already oozing green liquid, caved in, and more green liquid gushed out.

--roar

The armored corpse, struck by this heavy blow, instantly regained its senses. Its terrifying aura rapidly increased, and it raised its enormous bone claws high before slamming them down towards the dawn.

At this critical moment, the Golden Thunderwood within Leng San's dantian suddenly moved, bursting out of his body with a whoosh and transforming into a sharp electric blade that instantly pierced through the armored corpse's head.

With a soft hiss, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

The giant body of the armored corpse, which was more than three meters tall, remained still for a few seconds, and then collapsed with a thud, like a mountain collapsing and a jade pillar falling down!

A hole was clearly visible in the incredibly hard head of the armored corpse, running from the lower jaw to the top of the head, and it was still emitting blue smoke, with a burnt smell filling the air.

The three-foot-long Golden Thunderwood hung in mid-air, its body crackling with bluish-white lightning. Its domineering aura of thunder enveloped an area of ​​several miles, causing all evil spirits and demons to flee in terror.

Leng San coughed up a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness!

Although the Ten Thousand Year Golden Thunderwood is extremely powerful, its consumption is also astonishing. In just one strike, it completely drained Leng San's spiritual sea and even exhausted his mental energy.

To give an analogy, Jinleimu is like a high-powered water pump, while Lengsan's Linghai is like a goldfish tank. Jinleimu will turn the tank upside down in the first second of its operation, and might even shatter it.

"Brother..." Chenxi seemed to utter a single word before collapsing into unconsciousness.

It turned out that the little girl's mental energy had been greatly depleted from using mental control to forcibly control the armored corpse. She was now at her limit and had fainted, collapsing onto Leng San.

The golden thunderwood hung in mid-air, crackling with electricity, seemingly a little lost, and also a little—innocent!

Click—crackling—thud!

Whether attracted by the golden thunderwood or not, a radioactive cumulonimbus cloud drifted over, pressing lower and lower. As lightning ripped through the night sky, a thunderclap followed, and a torrential downpour began.

This rainwater is highly corrosive; if it gets on your skin, you'll either die or be severely injured. Jin Leimu's body shone brightly, forming a protective barrier that enveloped Leng San and Chen Xi, allowing the torrential rain to wash over them.

Sizzle—Boom!

Sizzle—Boom!

The thunderclouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and bolts of lightning struck the Golden Thunderwood one after another.

At first, the Golden Thunderwood was swaying, but later it became more and more energetic, like a black hole, constantly devouring lightning, while the barrier surrounding Leng San and Chen Xi became more and more solid.

…………

At that moment, a black minivan was driving slowly and cautiously through the rain-soaked street. Its headlights pierced the downpour, illuminating a radius of several dozen meters ahead.

The black van stopped abruptly when it reached the wreckage of the Jialing motorcycle.

Leng San had originally hung the woven bag containing crops on the handlebars of his motorcycle. At this time, the Jialing motorcycle had been smashed to pieces by the armored corpses, but the woven bag was basically intact. However, the crops inside were all rotten and, after being soaked by acid rain, were completely unrecognizable.

The window of the black van rolled down, a metal hook extended and pulled the woven bag inside, then the window closed, the van started again, and quickly drove away.

The person driving the black minivan at this moment was none other than Sister Qin, who possessed the ability to pass through walls. After Lao Zhang was killed by the armored zombie, she decisively fled. Now, having tracked him down, she unexpectedly obtained the crops left behind by Leng San.

Although these crops were completely rotten, they could still yield a lot of important data if taken back to the doctor for research.

Sister Qin glanced back at the distant lightning bolts that kept striking down, but ultimately dared not approach because it was too eerie; the lightning kept hitting the same spot.

Sister Qin didn't dare take the risk, fearing she might encounter a monster even more powerful than the armored corpse, so she quickly retreated.

This time, they failed to capture Leng San and even lost Lao Zhang. However, there was a reason for this. No one expected the zombie horde to break out at this time. In addition, they had already obtained the sample and had an explanation to give back to headquarters. There was really no need to take any more risks.

Thinking of this, Sister Qin stepped on the gas and sped away from the place. To be honest, she was really a little afraid of that armored corpse.
